thank you for providing the face of 'heros'- words can't begin to describe gratitute towards all these people who have come face to face with hell. (as a side note, too bad Kim Guilfoyle of FOX has declared these young women too dumb for juries or voting.) Thanks again for your effort and research . Well done!

Welcome to Oil-Electric!

"Oil-Electric" is the original name for first generation diesel-electric locomotives.

I am a retired Instructional Designer, with extensive experience in video production, including research, writing, photography and videography and voice-over narration.

Indeed, I co-owned Media Resources, Inc. in Vancouver Washington for a number of years.

When I began writing this Blog, the focus was on second-generation diesel power. As a young lad living in Prince Rupert, from 1957 through 1959, I began learning about diesel-electric locomotives. The Twilight of steam.

While my core interest remains unchanged, I have changed. Therefore, from time to time, I present subject material that I find absolutely interesting, hopefully you will too!
